Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

After returning to the cabin from the trading market, Ron looked at the "Top 100 List of Freshmen Re-examination" in his hand and felt like he had been tricked.

Olga said the list was obtained from internal documents at the office and was 100% authentic.

Ron didn't know if what the other person said was true or false, but it should be fine to use it as a reference.

Sitting at my desk, I unrolled the scroll, stopped thinking about anything else, and started studying its contents.

[Ranked first on the new student list, Philomi Dismay, sixteen years old, intermediate wizard apprentice, first in line to inherit the Dismay family's mantle, specializing in dark energy particle magic, specific strength unknown.]

[Second on the newcomer list, Elend Homi, eighteen years old, intermediate wizarding apprentice, commoner, skilled in fire element energy particle fusion magic, once single-handedly hunted down three dark wizards of similar strength, completing the mission with minor injuries.]

......

[Seventh on the Newcomer Ranking: Vassim Angus, seventeen years old, intermediate wizard apprentice, illegitimate son of the Angus family patriarch, skilled in shadow magic, curses, and other negative energy particle magic, and seemingly possesses multitasking abilities; his exact strength is unknown.]

Looking at the top ten names on the list, they were all mid-level wizard apprentices.

Ron felt a rare sense of pressure.

After all, these people were not like the arrogant but powerless wild wizards he had encountered before: "This is a bit tricky."

Actually, if those things hadn't happened before, I wouldn't have had to fight with these people. Who would want to fight to the death with a bunch of lunatics?

Of course, this is also why he has his current opportunities, and that is undeniable.

Having figured this out, Ron stopped worrying about it and continued scrolling down:

......

[Ranked fourteenth on the new student list, Nika De, eighteen years old, a novice wizard apprentice, a commoner, skilled in lightning element energy particle magic and close combat, once fought a mid-level wizard apprentice-level dark wizard and narrowly won.]

[Fifteenth on the new student list, Adele Mordson, seventeen years old, novice wizard apprentice, legitimate daughter of the Mordson family, bloodline side wizard, possessing moon elf blood, skilled in nature magic and long-range high-energy magical arrows, she once dueled with Nika de, but narrowly lost.]

......

[Thirty-seventh in the Freshman Class, Lancelot Gawain, eighteen years old, novice wizard apprentice, commoner, bloodline-side wizard, bloodline unknown, skilled in amplification magic and close combat, specific strength unknown.]

......

[Ninety-ninth on the newcomer list, Charlie Mills, fifteen years old, novice wizard apprentice, commoner (suspected to be one of Laura Wizard's current male lovers), skilled in flesh and aberration magic, specific strength unknown.]

Ron didn't see his name until the very end, but then he thought about it and realized that it made sense. He had been away from the academy for so many days, and he hadn't registered when he came back, so his information hadn't been updated. It was normal that his name wasn't on the list.

"I didn't expect Nika's strength to be so surprisingly good, and Adele, that's a bit unexpected, only ranked fifteenth?"

"Lancelot Gawain? That name sounds familiar?"

"I can't believe Charlie made the list too. But what's with Laura the Wizard's male lover?"

Ron looked at the names beyond the top ten and actually found several familiar faces among them. However, to his surprise, he also saw the name of the wizard Laura, whom he had met not long ago.

Moreover, the other party has also become involved with Charlie.

"Could that woman have secretly tampered with me?"

No wonder Ron thought that way; the other party's previous behavior was just too bizarre: a formal wizard actually opened a back door for him privately? It just sounds outrageous.

Not to mention that the two of them had never really crossed paths before, having only met twice in places like the trading office or the service hall.

If it's not through Charlie's storyline, then there's no other way to explain why the other party did this.

Thinking of this, Ron hurriedly checked his own information on the panel, fearing that he might be caught off guard. The ability that the other party had displayed earlier still sent chills down his spine when he thought about it. If they really attacked him, only the panel would be able to detect it.

The information on the panel hasn't changed much compared to before. Apart from the increase in attributes over the past six months, everything else is still the same as before.

Ron secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness."

However, he then thought: if the other party wasn't trying to harm him, then what was their purpose in approaching him?

I rubbed my temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and realized I always seem to encounter these inexplicable things.

Unable to understand the purpose of the other party's actions, Ron decisively abandoned the idea and began to study the information he had purchased from other sources once again.

Time slowly passed as he kept reviewing information and making notes.

The next morning.

When Ron walked into the classroom, he saw Adele engrossed in writing and drawing on paper.

When he got closer and took a closer look, he realized that the other person was actually drawing himself, and to be honest, it looked quite realistic.

Just as he was about to use this as an excuse to strike up a conversation with the girl, he saw that the portrait that had already been drawn was being held in her hand, and then a flame ignited on it, burning the person in the painting right through.

Seeing this, Ron's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but look into the girl's eyes.

He met those innocent red eyes, and in an instant, all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, leaving only one sentence:

Good morning, Adele.

Good morning, Ron.

Hearing the boy's slightly helpless voice, Adele's lips involuntarily curled upwards. Her previously somewhat irritated mood instantly brightened, as if a gentle breeze had swept over her.

"Serves you right for bullying me, hmph."

Looking at her, Ron knew perfectly well that the little girl was still angry about what happened yesterday.

But this was definitely my fault, what else can I do? I can only bear it.

Looks like I'll have to go to my senior's place this afternoon.

He thought to himself that although he couldn't make things clear, he should at least show some remorse.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"

Adele looked at Ron, who was staring blankly at her, raised her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows, and spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone. She had a feeling that this guy was thinking about something very offensive.

"It's nothing, how about I treat you to dinner after class?"

Ron shook his head, of course he couldn't say what was on his mind.

"Hmph, is she with someone again? If so, I'm not going."

Weren't we getting along perfectly fine yesterday? How come it's changed to someone else today? He complained about the woman's fickleness, but still had a sincere smile on his face: "Just the two of us."

"Alright then, seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly agree."

"hehe."
